..electric blues here, circa syko-delic 60's white boy/black influence music, loud and proud.

Gibson reissued their SG with the original P-90 pickups, and called it a Pete Townsend signature model. But it's like the one Clapton played when (arguably) he was at his best with Cream doing tunes like "Sleepy Time Time," "Spoonful" and "Crossroads." Such a sweet, yet deliciously wicked tone...what tears would sound like if they had an indignantly righteous voice.

And just when I'd thought Clapton had sold out to corporate interests (re: the beer commercial with the "Cocaine" soundtrack), here comes this tune "Sick And Tired" off his "Pilgrim" effort (not his most recent, admittedly) that just blows my socks off. Sadly, the rest of the CD is pretty much fluff.
